Now let's begin. I don't think there's a more easy access to a greater sense of purposeful being than being more intentional in the relationships we have. But that often happens because one of two things. Either one, we suddenly realize that the purpose of life is manifested through our relationships. The purpose of life is manifested through our relationships. You've heard all the growth day teachers talk about the research about how it's your relationships that actually leads to the highest levels of not only positive well being, not only life satisfaction, but longevity. The biggest study of the longest living people on the planet happens to be completely showing that the highest correlation to life length and positive life length, meaning you lived a good life and you lived a long life, came from people who had one or two deep, meaningful relationships and they found purpose in that. They found purpose in their children or they found purpose with their wife or their spouse or their partner or their family. There was purpose there. And sometimes purpose in the social realm can really fill us up in the self realm. So for those of you who are struggling with yourself, know that maybe deepen some of those relationships around you. Reminder to all of you, if you're struggling in any relationships in your life, that is as a Growth Day pro member, when you click the learn section and you watch past events under the live events section, you'll be able to see an entire month's training that you can sort by on relationships. And I think that's a really important call out here. I taught relationships for two hours there. Jenna Kutcher did, Coya Webb did, Anthony Trucks did. All eight of our teachers or so taught an hour on how they have learned about relationships from research or their coaching or teaching practice and what they do in their own life to develop those relationships. Our social realm is incredibly purposeful. Most importantly is this, and you all know this as strivers here in Growth Day. But I think this is so critical. You've got to be around purposeful people. You got to be around purposeful people. If you feel like the people around you aren't as purpose as they should, send them to growthday.com they can sign up for a free trial and they can watch this replay tomorrow. You know, it's like maybe they need a little training. A lot of people need training on this topic. Just like my friend I told you about, the woman I was coaching who she'd never been trained to ask the question what would make her feel fulfilled? Most people never been trained on purpose either. But getting around striving, giving, generous, kind, compassionate, high performing people will completely make you feel different about life. I think about my friendships and the people in my life, they got a lot of purpose. And it doesn't mean they have this end game. It means they're living purposeful lives with great intention and appreciation and presence. So they're awesome to be around. Do you have five people who are awesome to be around in your life? Like awesome and purposeful? If not, time to meet them. Time to engage more in the community section of Growth Day. Time to go out and volunteer.

My very favorite way to change someone's life is to turn them into a volunteer. I don't care what they volunteer for, but go volunteer. It will change everything. Because who does volunteering? Purposeful humans. So it's my favorite way to improve your social life. If you're not around purposeful people volunteer. You'll meet more purposeful people, more intentional people, more present people, more appreciative people. But also, if you are struggling in any of your relationships, please watch the relationship trainings or courses in Growth Day because they've found that just one negative or hurtful relationship in your life can dramatically decrease your sense of purpose in life. Your overall sense of purpose by one person. And we know that to be true in your career, right? You have one bad boss, they can ruin the whole company for you. Well, that's true in our personal lives too. One negative hurtful person consistently in your life tends to decrease your sense of purpose in life by 3 points out of 10. So meaning, let's say on a scale of 0 to 10, you feel life is purposeful and you're really connected to it. 10. You feel totally purposeful, totally connected. 0. You have none. Let's say you're at level 7. Having one negative or hurtful person recurring in your life takes that seven down to a four. That's why that saying don't suffer fools is a good one. If you got somebody who's negative or hurtful, it's time to do the relationship work to either improve that situation with that person, help them get assistance or help or coaching, or exit that situation. If you can't do any of those, then you've got to find a tribe or a community over here that you build up that meets those needs. And I think that's important because sometimes people say, well, Brendan, my mother, she's terrible and I hate having her around. I'm like, okay, well, you can't necessarily replace your mama. Maybe you can limit time there, but sometimes people can't. They're caregiving. As an example, I'm like, okay, well, then outside that house, we've got to develop the relationships that provide you with that sense where it's lacking there in that particular relationship. And so I think that's really, really important, that maybe we can't choose our family or the immediate circumstances we're experiencing, but we can build up a community over here that supports us.
